EMBRACING THE JOURNEY

Life they say is filled with uncertainties and as humans, there is limited knowledge we can have when it comes to what tomorrow holds for us. We only know of what might have happened but most especially, what we are facing right now. It’s hard to tell about the possibility of what is yet to come and that’s simply because the future is not completely in our hands. Yes, we can work towards the future but we can’t completely guarantee what it will be in the future.

For this week’s hivelearners topic, we are asked to share our thoughts on what our lives would be like if we didn’t go to the college or university we went to or the one we are currently in. For me, I have always left my life to little or no planning and that’s because to me, planning makes me one-sided in a way but I’m learning how to balance things. I know I want something but I have never really been diligent when it comes to making things work out exactly how I want it to work out. I’m one to always leave things to fate and most especially to God but over the years, I have learnt to put in the effort to get what I want because that’s only when God and fate can work in my favor.

It’s almost 2 years since I got into the university and if I’d be honest, I’ll say I haven’t met so many people that makes me feel like this is totally the best place for me or the worst. One thing I always tell myself is that anywhere I find myself, I’ll always learn to strive and that includes the university too. I don’t go around seeking for connections or people to vibe with there but I know that school gives me that platform to connect with different minds but that’s one thing I’m yet to make use of.

Right now, I’m less concerned about forcing any connections but I try not to hide myself too much either. If I didn’t come to this university I’m currently schooling at, I’d probably be somewhere else finding myself. Maybe striving better or struggling really harder than I’m currently doing now. Maybe I would have met more friends and people to connect with and also meet with people who I’ll add something meaningful to their lives more than I’m doing now or nay. Whatever it maybe, I’m not completely sure but I’m sure of the fact that I would have been striving just as much as I’m striving here better or worse.

But I have come to accept things as they come, especially things that I can do little or nothing about. Life is not a bed of roses and sometimes the best of things comes after facing those hard times, just like gold. So, no matter the hardship I might be facing currently or I would have faced in a different school, I’m sure that it will yield something good out of me. And most especially, it is not breaking me. It is making me the person I have envisioned or the person I need to become.

However things have turned out is none of my business now. What matters to me now is making the most out of where I am now. It doesn’t get easier. I only get stronger and wiser and I’ll keep making those mistakes and learning from them without giving up. I’m in the best place that I can be and even if I’m not, I’ll make sure of that because I believe and trust God to always make a way even when there is no way.

Thank you for reading through. 💜
